For the daily stuff I've got a pair of WD 640GB Black drives in RAID 0 and performance is as expected. From what I have read and seen the ICH10R is solid until you start building a serious disk subsytem. Do not expect anything higher than 620MB/s read or write, but you should be looking at a discrete card if you are looking for that kind of performance, and especially for using SSD's in RAID.

While this board is great, it would be tough to justify it over a vanilla P6T at nearly half the price.

I love the board...looks like a mini city inside the case with all the lights..My only small issue, is that the top pci-e port, its somehwat blocked im use by the heatsink of the chipset.the supremeFX fits perfectly, but if you want somethin like an x-fi titanium there, you're gonna have to bend some fins or cut them to fit..i haven't seen it affect cooling performance though

Nice review and great overclocking. Always a great board to see, a damn shame it is a lofty $400. Would have to say it is hard to warrant purchasing this board unless you are doing some hardcore overclocking. So glad they moved the Extreme OC panel.

Note that these switches can be disabled in the BIOS if you do not plan to use them, though when shooting for a quick overclock or pushing every last MHz without rebooting the added controls really help.
